going to the Tower of London was such a cool experience! i have been here before, but it always boggles my mind to see the crown jewels and such old buildings... the tower where they used to hold the prisoners has the names of many carved into the stone walls and the crown jewels are honestly so ridiculous. i do not understand how they acquired so much gold and so many diamonds! it was so fun to take a tour though and go see all of the historic places.
I am living in LONDON for 2 months and cannot even believe it... everyday is a new adventure more exciting than the one before! i am having the summer of my life and hope you all enjoy sharing a piece of it with me!

Stourhead!
this is STOURHEAD which was my favorite, favorite place! this is where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth in the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice (aka my all time fav movie) and it is my life dream to also be proposed to here also.. it isn't looking likely at the moment. but my favorite part in the movie is filmed here and it is beautiful. the man who designed these gardens spent 40 years making them perfect... it was definitely worth it! we were very rushed here which was disappointing cause i could have stayed here all day! but i was so stoked to be able to come.
{i was so bummed because i didn't realize we were going here so i was basically dressed like a pirate. don't judge me for my attire. haha.}

Glastonbury
this was our fun day trip to Glastonbury... we "hiked" up Tor to the tower on the top of the hill that has been a sacred space for many many years. people come from far and wide to see this beautiful tower. i really loved the picturesque landscape and the view from the top, it was a cool experience!
Glastonbury ruins
We took a day trip to Glastonbury and ended up having a photoshoot in the old church ruins. here's a little peak at what we were doing...

St. Paul's Cathedral!
tara and i climbing up one of the many, many stairs to the top!

They have a wall with tons of names written on it at the top of the dome, so of course I had to write mine on it also...

amazing view!
River Thames, London Eye, and THE City
stairs used in Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes! we aren't technically supposed to take pictures in the Cathedral, but we had an awesome tour guide who said "since there is no one around but us you can hurry and take all the pictures we want"

Bath!
streets of Bath
Cath Kidston!! Where I got my new adorable purse and camera case! I am in love with them.
eating our AMAZING buns from Sally Lunn's on a random curb.. we put cinnamon butter on them, and I have never been happier! delish.
Sally Lunn's House. As you can see, it is the oldest house in Bath, and has the cutest restaurant inside.

Okay, so Bath is my favorite place! It is so quaint and fun. It really feels like you are in a different city, especially with the Roman influence and historical buildings... We took a tour of the roman baths, went to Sally Lunn's house (most amazing buns!), and just walked around the town... and I bought my Cath Kidston bag! yay! I really could stay there forever and loved every second!
